BOTTLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 293,460, dated February12, 1884,

Application filed November 30, 1883. (No model.)

To all whom, t may concern,.-

Be it known that we, FREDERICK E. HEI- NIG and FREDERICK STI'rzEL, ofLouisville, Kentucky, have invented a new and useful ImprovementiuBottles, of which the follow ing is a specification.

- the bottle, a little above the valve, a plug or stopper, with suitableopenings,through which the contents may be poured. t r

In the accompanying drawings, Figures 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6 aresectionalviews of a bottleneck, showing our invention, and diierent forms inwhich it may be applied. Fig. 4 shows side views-of different forms ofthe `plug orstopper above `the valve and different forms of the openingsin the plug; and Fig. 7

is a sectional view of an upper plug, a valve,

and a lower plug containing a valvefseat.

The same letters indicate the same parts in y the different drawings.

A is the neck of a bottle. B is a plug or stopper. C is a valve. D is acork or other bottlestopper. E are openings in the plug B. G is avalve-seat. I

We prefer to make the upper and lower plugs of glass, and to have theopenings which are made in the edge or side of the upper plug of some ofthe forms shown in the drawings,

ffor the reason that a glass plug can be readily cemented or fastenedimmovably into the bottle-neck, and the form of openings shown preventinterference with the valve; but we do not wish to be understood aslimiting ourselves to the use of that material or the indicated forms ofopenings. m

In Fig. 2 is shown a form of our invention in which the upper part ofthe bottle-neck may be made in a` separate piece, with the plug Bforming a portion of it, and the lower part of the `bottleneck may becontracted to form a valve-seat, and also a seat on which to cement orfasten the detached upper part after the bottle is lled and the Valveinplace.

4In practice, with our invention, if the bottleneck is not contractedso* as to forni a valveseat, the bottle is filled, the lower plug, Fig.7, carrying the valve-seat G, is cemented or fastened into the neck ofthe bottle A, the valve C, which is formed of glass, hard rubber,

or any other suitable material, dropped to its Y seat G, and the plug Bis cemented or fastened into the neck A above the valve C. If thebottle-neck A is contracted so as to form a valveseat, then, after thebottle has been lled, the valve C is dropped to its seat G in bottleneckA, and the plug B is then ce mented or fastened into the neck A; or, ifthe form shown in Fig. 2 is used, the detached piece, carrying the plugB, is cemented or fastenedV onto the neck A. In all cases the plug B isto be placed sufficiently above the valve C to allow the latter a littleplay, when the bottle is reversed or turned bottom up.

v The bottle may be stoppered in any of the usual ways.

By means of our invention the contents may be readily poured from thebottle, but the bottle cannot be refilled, and the manufacturer is thusprotected from the sale of a spurious article under his name or brand.

Having fully described our invention, what we claim as new, and desireto secure by Letters Patent, isfv In combination with a bottle having aninner projection forming avalve-seat, G, the perforated plug or stopperB, andvalve C, se-

cured by a stopper, D, substantially as shown and described.
